the usual, bob? not today. [ male announcer ] bob has afib: atrial fibrillation not caused by a heart valve problem, a condition that puts him at greater risk for a stroke. [ gps ] turn left. i don't think so. [ male announcer ] for years, bob took warfarin, and made a monthly trip to the clinic to get his blood tested. but not anymore. bob's doctor recommended a different option: once-a-day xarelto®. xarelto® is the first and only once-a-day prescription blood thinner for patients with afib not caused by a heart valve problem, that doesn't require routine blood monitoring. like warfarin, xarelto® is proven effective to reduce the risk of an afib-related stroke. there is limited data on how these drugs compare when warfarin is well managed. no routine blood monitoring means bob can spend his extra time however he likes. new zealand! xarelto® is just one pill a day, taken with the evening meal. and with no dietary restrictions, bob can eat the healthy foods he likes. do not stop taking xarelto® r

i asked bob reilly. why did mercedes go to tuscaloosa, alabama instead of filling up the factories in connecticut. 15 minutes away from yale in rhode island. spent minutes away from brown. right by the most highly trained brilliant minds in the world. that's easy. the workforce rules are so insane that there is no way mercedes or airbus would dream of going to those states. do you want the jobs or do you not? >> that plays out across the south when an auto plant comes back and you get a bunch of jobs, but at a low wage. do you want to lower ourselves to the global standard of wages. >> a better option. >> stronger, but smaller in union states. >> or a better option. there other factors. >> back to michigan in the capitol building, it was heated. the state representative painted the repercussions in stark terms. >> we are going to pass something that will undo 100 years of labor relations.

to end up at $500,000 on this debate, i think barack obama has a chance to do what eric cantor told bob woodward after he met him the first time, which is if he's pragmatic, if he comes to the middle, then he could lock us republicans up for a very long time. i mean, i think that's the great challenge for barack obama. >> yeah. >> can he do what he appears to be doing right now with john boehner? and that is upsetting a lot of people in his own base for the betterment of their party by saying we're going to raise it from $250,000 to maybe $500,000, go after entitlements and do it for the best interests of the country. >> he is a pragmatist. the first two years, it was such a strained situation. when we talked to him on wednesday, everything he said was about -- he wasn't saying government has to be bigger. government has to be smarter. government has to be better. it was like the lincoln line. this is a fantastic picture, by the way. >> that is adorable. >> joe, that's one of the pictures i was talking about. >> you're letting us know, these are all exclusive to "morning joe." >> they'r

so game that out for me if he decides to go with her. >> and bob corker, too. these are people that are normally not ones that are usually will play games with confirmation politics. you know, you could just sort of see how this would go, right? first of all, it would fall on the foreign relations committee and john kerry to get it through committee. it would probably get through on a party line vote. obviously, then they'd have to go and find five senators. i don't know if there would be a -- i think you would get senators that would agree not in a filibuster, but then not vote for her. so i do think the confirmation itself and the politics of that, while not extraordinarily easy, is it going to be a heavy, heavy lift, but it just is added to the pain and maybe they delay the confirmation process till after the holidays so that we don't even start it now. and maybe that break will help when there's a new senate and all of that. but look, i think you're going to see a lot of party-linas spekt party-line aspects to this. >> there's another way to go about this.

i actually spent some of the time over the holidays for my sins reading bob woodward's book. and my overall reaction to all this is groundhog day. it's the same exact issues, some of the same players, same cautions of spending, entitlements, taxation, debt celling, what have you, nothing has changed. so what's so depressing to me is we've had four years or longer to wrestle with these issues. there's virtually been no signs on progress. here we are now with two more self-imposed ceilings. and increasingly, we've got a u.s. government that sticks a gun to its head. sorry to use gun metaphors, but basically sticks a gun to its head and says we don't trust ourselves to legislate like normal people. even presidential commissions don't work anymore. what we've got to do is give ourselves artificial deadlines and bring ourselves to the precipice, create all sorts of uncertainty, create manufactured crises because without that pressure, we can no longer be counted on to do anything that remotely redecember bem zesembl thing. >> they're going to say okay, we can't do this all right n
